The Alex Rider series are aimed at that age group that might be bored by the teenage angst of things like The Hunger Games or the Divergent series, where the agony of choosing which boy to kiss is given more space than fighting with blood crazed mutants.

If you like the idea of being chased by a genetically modified clone of a super villain, riding a rocket propelled snowmobile with forward firing machine guns, with only a CD player that turns into a chainsaw and exploding bubble gum to defend yourself, then these are the books for you!
